The label boss The Advent teams up with Spiriakos and they deliver a great release for Kombination Research. The original mix of 'Point Of No Return' is a smooth techno production that builds early on with some nice beats and some subtle effects. Filterheadz deliver their remix on the flip and maintain some of the quirky vibe in the drum work.

Advent – A coming, or an arrival, a coming into being or use. 

Quite an appropriate name for Cisco Ferreira, a man who has played a big part in the creation and development of Techno from the very beginning of this genre’s history. Indeed, his Techno CV is the stuff of legend. Cisco was producing Techno and performing live Techno shows years before the rest of the world had even heard of the genre. He released his first track in 1988, was a pioneer of the Live PA (or Live Public Address – performing Techno live in front of an audience using electronic music gear), and, if all that wasn’t enough, he even worked as the sound engineer on some of Derrick May’s, Adonis & Fingers Inc’s recording sessions! 

The list goes on, and so does Cisco. Unlike other Techno pioneers from the early years, Cisco continues to produce with as much passion and frequency as he did back in the day. His releases on Labels Like Tresor, Rotation, Electrix, Kanzleramt, Dj Gigolos, Pure Plastic, Synewave plus many more is just another example of his ongoing pursuit to keep making music and pushing Techno to new boundaries. 

Cisco was born to Portuguese parents on the island of Madeira (Portugal). His family moved to London (1975) when he was five years old, setting the stage for his musical career. While at Paddington College (1986) in West London, he studied sound engineering and secured a job after graduation as an assistant sound engineer at ZOLOU Then later WALL Studios.  

At this period is when he really started to learn about Sound & Production, his 1st main recording sessions as an engineer were rock & “Inde” based bands & the studio owners being in successful rock bands. Matt Dangerfield & John Payne “ASIA” this 1st step was a start in learning about balancing & mixing down the rock way, which had a lot of intense & Raw energy especially on drums & Guitars.. 

Other bands Cisco did sessions for: P.I.L. (John Lydon - sex pistols) – Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin) – That petrol emotion. Then Later Pop, Dance, Soul & reggae groups like: Wild Bunch (Nelly hopper & Massive Attack) – Marco Pirroni (Adam & the ants) - Maxi Priest – Sly Dunbar (Sly & Robbie) – Loose Ends – Cheryl Lynn… 

1987 Cisco began going to clubs and learning about this new thing called Acid House, which was spreading like crazy throughout London’s underground scene, culminating in the famous “Summer of Love” in 1988, the genre’s golden period. 

Around this time, a record label called, Jack Trax, “One of the 1st to release Acid House, House & techno in UK” moved in next door and began using the same studio for recording sessions, with Cisco as the engineer working with Fingers Inc, Adonis, Marshall Jefferson & Derrick May. Cisco released his first record in 1988 on Ferrari records (R&S records) Then later “Cisco Ferreira” EP on Fragile. 

His first big break came in 1994, when he and fellow Londonite Colin McBean (a.k.a. Mr. G) were brought on by Internal Records to help co-produce a group called Salt Tank. A record contract with Internal/FFRR soon followed, committing The Advent to 12 EP’s and 3 albums.

Today, The Advent goes on just as Cisco Ferreira. While he has had a long history with tons of accomplishments to hang his hat on, he continues to make history. The Advent is fulfilling Cisco’s vision as much as ever. He is busy touring as both a DJ and a live performer, producing for numerous labels, and running his own Techno imprint, Kombination Research. 

As Cisco moves forward, striving to fulfill the ambitious goals he has set one can look back at his storied past and see how he has come full circle… The Saga continues.

Spiriakos is a Czech techno matador based in Prague, whose name has been a matter of respect and admiration for clubbers and other artists for many years. Influenced by 90´ Detroit techno and electro sound, Spiriakos installs a captivating atmosphere during his sets while using scratching and a wide range of effects.

History dates back to 2006 when he first touched the mix. One year later, Spiriakos started his career as a solo DJ, who gradually worked his way up from local events to the most significant Czech techno parties. Thanks to his diligence and originality, Spiriakos was soon considered one of the few designated as the representative of a new generation of techno DJs and producers and slowly gained respect among colleagues abroad, from whose he formerly drew his inspiration. Gigs in Slovenia, Poland, Italy, or Germany were not obliged to wait long. One of the biggest highlights has been a gig in legendary Berlin club Tresor.

His production sound is strongly influenced by The Advent and his musical vision. Niche signature tracks typical for their dense bassline and soft kick drum accompanied by a hypnotic synth sound has seen the support of names on the scene, such as The Advent, Tiga, Zombie Nation, Sasha Carassi, Filterheadz, A. Paul, Industrialyzer, Spiros Kaloumens, Dave Clarke, Virgil Enzinger, and many more. Over the years, Spiriakos has managed to release over 40 digital EPs and 7 vinyl records. However, always tries to improve his sound and make the best of himself with every upcoming EP.

After a short break, Spriakos immersed himself in the studio work, developing his production style and testing new hardware. In 2020 he returned with the house EP "Let's make love" on the Climax Digital Records label, showcasing his even broader musical focus. His solo project has, however, remained mainly focused on live performance and techno production. Moreover, Spiriakos became a part of the District 313 techno project, together with his long-term mate Makarov/Marvel 83. Their first Collapse EP on Phobiq was released in early 2022.

Wer sich auf Schienen bewegt, wird Freiheit nie finden, denn er kann Ziele nicht wähl'n! Ich bin tausend in einem ... und du nur einer von vielen.

DJ Adam Bendell, currently 21,  took up the Tech-House persona "Digital Samurai" in 2016 under the tutelage and guidance of veteran Underground legends Freddy Silva and Pumatron.  He is quickly gaining attention in the underground community as a torch bearer, keeping house and techno true to their roots: with meticulously layered beats, hard hitting basslines, and a dark and melodic flare and displaying an aptitude for DJing techniques sure to keep the dancefloor on fire from looping and tweaking samples to juggling beats and scratching. With a vast musical archive to draw from, you can expect only the best club and ungerground hits from the 70's, 80's, and 90's,  all the way to tracks so fresh they have yet to be released, either way you are in for a musical joyride, hope you buckled up tight.
